thanks,

ive just done the startup thing and unchecked about 10 things that werent needed on startup.
dunno if any of them were the problem tho.

also the norton is still going, been scanning for at least 2 hrs now.



the error message above isnt what theyve been getting
it just says whatever program you try to open is infected and do you want to run an antivirus program or continue uncovered?
but wont let you open the programs.
then the net wont work as it says its an unsafe website and opens its own page which is a virus scanner saying you have loads of faults.

once the norton is finished i will try the super anti spyware and adaware

it seems to fix for a little while after i have a play but then comes back again so either reloads or comes back through the net.

i dont want to wipe the pc and start again as its used for bussiness. if i cant fix it i will have to take it to a pc shop.
